The best places to go this Christmas in Cheshire

Mum and Families Squad member, Gillian, has shared her favourite festive places to go in Cheshire.

Christmas Time is one of our favourite times for family activities. Many activities we do are free or cost a small donation. Enjoy!

Flora Home

This little magical place provides a lovely Christmassy feel when we visit at this time of year. There are different rooms all with a different Christmas theme and decorated with unusual and unique decorations.

They often have stories with Mrs Claus and a post box to send a letter to Santa. The children just love the oversized Polar bears and reindeer’s as they enter each room! Great photo opportunities and lovely to pick up a few decorations that are a little different to the main shops. The cafe next door does a good range of foods if you want to make it a longer visit.

Royal College of Music Christmas Family Day

This year being held on Sunday 17th Dec it will be our third visit to this event. A really lovely day all under one roof. The children are treated to live orchestras alongside a classic children’s Christmas movie. Face painting, workshops and of course a visit from Father Christmas too.

Check out your local library!

There’s always something my kids love each year at our local libraries. We are so lucky to have 3/4 libraries within a short drive.

Craft sessions, stories with Santa, elf hunts all provide free or cheap entertainment that the kids love. We always make sure to take out some books to ‘pay back’ to the library service so more people can keep enjoying these events.

Dunham Massey Runaway Rudolph

There is something lovely about spotting the deer at Dunham Massey at any point in the year hit at Christmas my kids just find it so magical. There Runaway Rudolph trail around the gardens is great fun and spotting the real deer has them asking if they really are Santa’s reindeers...who knows they might just be!

Christmas Street! Warwick Drive - Hazel Grove

A fantastic fun event we all love. This street has been going all out with their decorations each year and the crowds coming to see create such a good atmosphere. With great themes and light plus residents having a refreshment stand and a bucket to donate to their charities each year it’s a fabulous event that provides fun for all ages all while raising money for great causes. Wrap up warm and take a look!
